North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile into the East Sea on 12th Anniversary of Kim Jong-il’s Death
Kim Jong-il was the OG rocketman, so it is only fitting that his son would have a missile fired on his anniversary:
North Korea fired one short-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Sunday, the 12th anniversary of the death of late leader Kim Jong-il, according to South Korea’s military.
The launch briefly raised speculation that it could be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) because South Korea’s First Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Tae-hyo said a few days earlier the North could fire an ICBM within this month.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, however, that the North fired a short-range missile from in or around Pyongyang at about 10:38 p.m. and it flew about 570 kilometers before splashing in the East Sea.

Hey! I’m the original “rocketman”. Have been since 1971. Often imitated, but never duplicated. Let’s get the story straight!
@rocketman, we appreciate you being here.
We wish the ill-tempered fat Norkistani would head off into the sunset.
But we’re glad you’re still here.
Thank you, Setnaffa!
